I participated with a friend who isn't very fit. There were 5 participants, and we had one guide. I was worried about keeping up physically, but I was able to see the Jomon Sugi safely! Additionally, I learned a lot about the cedar trees, mountains, and islands from our guide, which made for a very satisfying experience. It was great to have other participants, as it motivated me to do my best and I enjoyed hearing various stories. Thank you very much!!
体力のない友人と2人で参加しました。参加者5名に対し、ガイドさんが1名ついてくれました。
体力的についていけるか不安でしたが、無事縄文杉を見ることができました!
また、ガイドさんだからこその杉や山、島に関することを教えてもらい大満足の時間でした。
他の参加者がいたからこそ、頑張ろうと思えたし、いろいろな話を聞けて良かったです。
ありがとうございました!!

Majestic nature!
Scenery you don't usually see!
It was the best!
We walked non-stop from early morning until evening, and it was much more strenuous than I expected—definitely felt more like a serious hike than a leisurely trek!
I had knee pain, which was quite challenging for me!
I absolutely recommend it for healthy and younger people!
It became a lifelong memory for both of us!
壮大な自然!
普段見れない景色!
最高でした!
朝早くから、夕方まで歩きっぱなし思ったよりアップダウンが激しくてのんびりトレッキングって感じでは無く、ガッツリ登山て感じでした!
私は膝が悪かったので、膝の痛みが大変でした!
健康な方、若い人たちには絶対おススメです!

Although it wasn't mentioned in the tour schedule, the round trip from the trailhead to Jomon Sugi is 22 km, which is about 40,000 steps on my pedometer. The guide encouraged us by saying that 99% of people can go and return safely. Along the way, they explained various things about Yakushima's plants and animals, as well as the history of Yakusugi, and we managed to complete the hike while drinking cold stream water. There were four other participants, which I think helped us all finish successfully. Renting shoes, rainwear, and a backpack was definitely the right choice. The shoes were sturdy trekking shoes and fit almost perfectly, and the rainwear was a separate top and bottom, which I think was ideal for walking in the rain. Regarding infection prevention, masks were required on the shuttle bus to the trailhead, and only one person could sit in a two-person seat. During the hike, we removed our masks and maintained some distance while walking. In this tour, I was also glad to see various things besides Yakusugi, such as moss and oddly shaped trees.
ツアースケジュールには記載されていませんでしたが、登山口から縄文杉までの往復で歩く距離は22km、歩数計で約4万歩でした。ガイドさんは99%の人はちゃんと行って帰れますと励ましてくれ、途中、屋久島の植物や動物、屋久杉の歴史についていろいろと説明してくれたり、冷たい沢の水を飲んだりしながら、何とか完歩できました。他に4人の参加メンバーもいたので、完遂できたと思います。今回、シューズ・レインウェア・リュックをレンタルして正解でした。シューズはしっかりとしたトレッキングシューズで、サイズもほぼぴピッタリりでしたし、レインウェアは上下セパレート型で雨の中を歩くのに最適だったと思います。感染予防についてですが、登山口までのシャトルバス内はマスクを着用し、2人がけの席には1人しか座れません。登山中はマスクをはずして、少し間隔を空けて歩きます。今回のツアーでは屋久杉以外にもコケや奇妙な形の木などがいろいろ見れて良かったです。
Dear Mio Teru Papa,
I apologize for the delayed response. Thank you very much for participating in the Jomon Sugi tour.
It seems you traveled alone this time, but walking the round trip of 22 km with other guests and the guide will surely become a lifelong memory. Currently, due to infection control measures, things are not as they used to be, but once the COVID-19 situation settles down, please come back to Yakushima again.
We look forward to your continued support.

The tour guide provided an incredibly informative experience, allowing us to enjoy the Yakusugi trekking much more than we would have on our own. Additionally, this tour was great because it offered direct transportation from the hotel in the Miyanoura area to the trailhead without the need for transfers, which was very convenient.
ツアーガイドの方のガイドがとても内容の濃いもので、個人でトレッキングするより数倍も屋久杉トレッキングを楽しめました。
また、このツアーは他のツアーと比較してホテル(宮之浦地区)から登山口まで乗り換えする必要なく直通で送迎してくれたのが良かったです。

The rental gear was brought to the hotel the day before, and I chose a pair of hiking boots that fit well. I was picked up at the hotel at 5 AM. After eating a rice ball for breakfast, I took a public bus to the trailhead, and we started trekking at 6:45. The trolley path was flat, and I made smooth progress while occasionally enjoying the scenery.
The latter part, which involved climbing rocky areas, was quite tough. I took breaks roughly every hour, sweating a lot while using my trekking poles. Approaching my sixties, I found it challenging. At one point, I honestly considered saying, "I'll wait here." The others were younger or more experienced hikers, but everyone, including the guide, was kind and checked on me, and I somehow managed to reach Jomon Sugi.
On the way back, while being careful with my footing, I felt a bit more relaxed since it was downhill. I was happy to achieve my goal in 10 hours. However, considering the inconvenience to others, I enjoyed the Shiratani Unsuikyo more the next day, where I could walk at my own pace, take photos, and rest.
For those confident in their physical fitness, I think the tour with the guide is excellent, as you can hear tips on walking and various experiences shared.
前日ホテルにレンタル用品を持ってきてくれ、サイズの合った登山靴をチョイス。
午前5時ホテルにお迎え。
朝食おにぎりを食べ公共バスで登山口へ、6:45トレッキングスタート。
トロッコ道は平坦で景色を時々眺めながらスムーズに進みました。
後半の上り岩場はかなりきつく、1時間弱に1回のペースで休憩を入れ、ストックを使いながら汗をたっぷりかきました。
還暦前、キビシイと思いながらのチャレンジ。私1人遅いペースで、正直途中、「ここで待ってます。」と言おうかとも考えました。他は若い方や歩き慣れた方で、ガイドさんはじめ皆さん優しく、振り向いてもらったり、気にかけてもらいながら何とか縄文杉に辿り着きました。
復路は足元は気をつけながらも、下りなので多少の余裕も出ました。
10時間、目標達成は嬉しかったです。
ただ他の方へのご迷惑を考えると、翌日自分のペースで歩き写真を撮ったり休憩できたりした、白谷雲水峡の方が楽しみながら行けました。
体力に自信のある方なら、ガイドさんのコースでの説明も歩き方のコツ、いろんな体験談も聞けて、とてもいいツアーだと思います。
Dear Fumino,
I apologize for the late reply, and thank you very much for participating in the Jomon Sugi tour.
First of all, I'm glad to hear that you reached the goal safely without any injuries.
Many customers have mentioned that they felt like giving up several times, but they were able to complete the walk thanks to their companions and everyone's encouragement. However, having good physical strength allows for a more comfortable experience, so even though you are approaching your sixties, please focus on building your stamina to walk in Yakushima and other mountains.
Thank you for your continued support.

Many customers visit Yakushima for a two-night, three-day stay, and there are many who wish to visit both Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo (Taiko Rock) in one day, which is why we created this tour.
Honestly, it is quite challenging to cover both courses in one day, but I believe the sense of accomplishment when you reach the goal is truly overwhelming.

I participated in August 2020. I usually engage in sports, but it was my first time hiking, and I was a bit worried about the 22-kilometer round trip. However, once I started, the trolley path was easy to walk and gentle, and the mountain trail to Jomon Sugi was manageable with breaks, so I didn't feel any difficulty at all.
令和2年8月に参加しました。
普段からスポーツをしておりますが、登山は初めてですし往復22キロの山道ということで少し心配でした。
参加してみると、トロッコ道は歩きやすくて緩やかですし、縄文杉までの山道も休憩を入れながらだったので、辛い感じは全くありませんでした。

I was able to do both in one day. It seems to be quite a challenging tour, and it appears that the guide doesn't often conduct this tour.
Fortunately, everyone in the group was able to walk until the end, but I was nervous about not holding everyone back (especially since there was a final bus time...).
The guide was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The weather was good, and it was sunny at Taiko Rock. In the second half, it was cloudy, which helped keep it from being too hot, and I was very satisfied.
However, the reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that at the time of departure, we were worried when the pickup didn't arrive for over 10 minutes. When I called, I finally got through on the third try, and all I was told was "just wait," resulting in us waiting about 20 minutes.
By the time we arrived at the entrance and were having breakfast, they apologized.
I understand that island time is a thing to some extent, but if there are delays, it would be helpful to receive a notification early on about how long we might have to wait. Since it was very early in the morning, there were no other means to confirm (or contact) anyone, which made me anxious. Since we had specifically requested the tour, I deducted one star.
1日で、どちらも行っていただきました。
やはり大変なツアーらしく、なかなかガイドさんもそのツアーをされないらしいツアー。
幸い、参加したメンバーみんな元気に最後まで歩けましたが、私がみんなの足を引っ張らないかドキドキしました。(最終のバスの時間もあるので、、、)
ガイドさんは、何でもご存知で質問は全て答えて下さいました。
天気も良く太鼓岩では晴れて、後半は曇ったおかげで暑すぎず、大変満足しました。
ただ一点、星を4つにした理由としては、
出発時、10分以上たっても送迎来られず心配になり電話をかけると、3回目でやっと繋がり「ちょっと待って」とだけ言われるだけで、結局約 20分待ちました。
結局入り口に到着して朝食を食べている時になり、詫びていただきましたが。
島時間なのはある程度理解しますが、
遅れるのなら早めに、また何分ほど待つと連絡いただけないと、大変早朝なので他に確認(連絡)する手段がないので、心配になりました。
折角ツアーに頼んでるので。
星を一つ減らしました。

This was my first trekking experience in life, and I usually don't exercise much. It was a challenging journey with heavy rain due to an approaching typhoon, but thanks to the guide's instructions on adjusting our clothing and teaching us how to walk without straining our legs and back, we were able to reach the goal safely!
When I saw the Jomon cedar at the summit, I was so moved that I almost cried! There were many highlights besides the named Jomon cedar and the couple's cedar, and I was glad to receive detailed explanations.
It turned out that there were only the two of us in the tour group, and with only about 50 climbers that day, it was great that there was no crowd, allowing us to take plenty of photos!
Since the weather can change quickly, I recommend preparing waterproof gear and shoes. It was reassuring that masks were required in the shuttle bus and that social distancing was maintained.
Our guide, Mr. Shinmura, was very knowledgeable and answered our questions thoroughly. He also provided recommendations for shops in Yakushima, which was very helpful! Thank you so much for your support.

If it's your first time, I think you would get lost without a tour guide. I participated in the tour and was able to safely reach Jomon Sugi. During the trekking, we shared laughs, which made it enjoyable even when I was physically exhausted and found the return journey tough. The guide was very attentive, teaching us how to take photos and showing us great photo spots.
Fortunately, we were blessed with good weather and didn't have any rain, so we didn't need to use rain gear. Bringing two 500 ml water bottles is sufficient, as you can drink cold water from streams at several points along the way. If you're lucky, you might even see deer!
The hike was challenging, but it became a memorable experience of a lifetime.
初めてならツアーガイドさんがいなければ迷うと思います。ツアーに参加し、安全に縄文杉まで到着することができました。トレッキング中笑いを交えながらだったので、体力が辛くなったとき、復路が辛かった時にも楽しみながら歩くことができました。写真の撮り方やフォトスポットまで教えて下さりとても細部まで丁寧にご対応して頂きました。
幸い天候に恵まれ雨もなく、雨具を使うことはありませんでした。水分は500 mlのペットボトルを2本持っていけば途中で沢の水が何箇所かで冷たい水を飲む事ができます。ダイビングが合えば鹿に会えます!

Summer is the typhoon season, and even if the weather forecast predicts clear skies, it often rains in the mountains, so it was great that it didn't rain during your visit.

I always wanted to go, but I was worried about my physical stamina... As time passed and my physical abilities declined, I decided to participate. It became the best memory of this summer.
This tour is all-inclusive.
When renting trekking gear, there is a fitting for shoes upon arrival at the airport. The rental shop provides advice. As a result, I returned without any blisters.
A major feature of the tour is the dedicated shuttle service to the trailhead. Using a regular bus has a set schedule, which means you have to stick to that for departures and arrivals at the trailhead. However, we arrived early before other tours, enjoyed a leisurely breakfast, and started at our own pace without being rushed by the bus departure on the way back.
We were fortunate with the weather and our guide. While the rain-soaked cedar forests of Yakushima are said to be mystical, as a beginner, I hoped it wouldn't rain... and my wish was granted with clear skies all day. Our guide, Ryo Takahashi from the Yakushima Guide Association, provided detailed explanations of key locations and kept us engaged with information about Yakushima and personal stories. Thanks to Takahashi's engaging talk, our walking pace increased, allowing us extra time to stop by a special place on the way back.
Meeting the Jomon Cedar was an emotional experience, and I felt it was worth coming. This tour taught me that travel is not just about going to see a specific destination and returning.
一度は行ってみたいけど、体力的に心配…
と思っていて年月が経って、ますます運動機能が低下していたので、思いきって参加してみました。
今夏の最高の想い出になりました。
このツアーは至れり尽くせりです。
トレッキング用具のレンタルでは、空港に着いた時にシューズの試着があります。
レンタル用具屋さんがアドバイスしてくれます。
結果、全く靴ずれせず帰ってこれました。
登山口までツアー専用送迎も大きな特徴です。
定期バス利用ではスケジュールが決まっているので、それに合わせて登山口発着になりますが、
他のツアーが来る前に早く着いて、ゆっくり朝ご飯食べてスタートして、帰りもバスの出発に追われる事なく参加者のペースで歩けます。
今回恵まれたのはお天気とガイドさん。
雨の屋久杉の森も幻想的だそうですが、初心者としては降ってほしくない…その願いが届いて、終日晴天でした。
ガイドは、屋久島ガイド協会から高橋亮さんにご担当いただきました。
ポイントとなる場所の詳しい解説はもちろん、屋久島の情報からプライベートのお話まで、参加者を飽きさせません。
高橋さんのトークライブに私達の歩行ペースも上がったのか、時間に余裕ができて、帰りに特別な場所に寄り道してくださいました。
縄文杉との対面は感動的で、来て良かったと感じた時間でした。
ただそれ以外にも、
目的のものを見に行って帰ってくるだけが旅ではないことを教えてくれたツアーでした。

The one-way trek takes about 2 hours along a cart path, followed by a 3-hour climb up the mountain. It significantly tests your physical strength and endurance, but the sense of achievement upon completing the entire journey is exceptional. However, after descending that day, I was too exhausted to do anything.
During the trek, I experienced some trouble with my toenails, but soaking my feet in a stream helped cool them down and they recovered quite a bit. Considering the pace management, explanations at various points along the way, and the response to issues that arose (in another party, the guide carried the bags due to a foot injury), I believe the guide was truly commendable.
片道がトロッコ道の徒歩で2時間、そこから山を3時間程度上るもの。体力筋力を著しく使ってつらいけれど、全行程クリアした際の達成感は格別。なおその日は下山後は疲労で何もできず。
また行程中で足の爪にトラブル発生したところ、沢に足を入れて冷やして大分回復した。
ペース配分や途中での各所解説、トラブル発生時の対応(他のパーティーでは足の負傷により荷物をガイドさんが代わりに運んでいた)などを鑑みれば、ガイドさんはあらまほしきものと思う。

The guide provided detailed explanations from start to finish, which was great! Even when everyone started to get tired in the second half, the guide was considerate and revisited the points explained earlier. I think having a guide during the tracking was a good decision.
ガイドさんが最初から最後まで細かに説明して頂き、良かったです!
後半も参加した皆さんが疲れてきて際も、気配りして、行きで説明して頂いた箇所も、再度触れて、説明頂きました。 ガイドさん付きのトラッキングでよかったと思います

It was great that the tour was scheduled to match our arrival time, allowing us to make effective use of our time. I was lucky to be guided to the Kawakami Sugi and a scenic bridge in addition to the planned locations. The tour was for the 30-minute course at Yakusugi Land, but I wished we could have gone on the 50-minute course.
到着の時間にあわせたツアーだったので、時間を有効に使えて良かった。
予定の場所以外の川上杉と景観のよい橋の上にも案内していただけたのはラッキーでした。
ヤクスギランドの30分コースの案内でしたが、50分コースに行きたかったです。

Only Yakushima Tour Operations can take you to the trailhead without using a bus, and it was great not having to wait for a bus on the way back.

Everyone was a bit anxious since it was our first trekking experience, but our guide, Tsugimura, shared fun stories and took wonderful photos, allowing us to enjoy a fantastic day with great weather! It was tough, but I’m glad I took on the challenge. We maintained distance for infection control and wore earphone microphones, which made it easy to hear the guide's voice and have quiet conversations with my friends, so it was very convenient!
全員が初トレッキングで不安もありましたが、ガイドの津曲さんが楽しいお話をしてくださったり素敵な写真を撮ってくださったりで、天気にも恵まれ最高の1日を過ごすことができました!
しんどかったですが挑戦してよかったです。
感染症対策で距離を取り、イヤホンマイクを装着したのですがガイドさんの声が聞き取りやすく参加した友人との会話も小さい声でできたのでとても便利でした!
Thank you, Mr. Sasaki, for your post about your experience. I believe it was quite challenging to walk the course of Shiratani Unsuikyo and Jomon Sugi in one day, but thanks to the efforts of the three of you, we were able to reach the goal safely. We also found both strengths and areas for improvement in the wireless guide system, so I would like to recommend it to future customers.

I participated with a friend in their 20s. We added a rental option, which we could pick up the day before the Jomon Sugi tour. We took the bus at 4 AM and started walking around 5 AM. There were six of us in the group, including the guide, and it seemed like most of us could walk well. The guide adjusted the pace according to our condition, taking breaks as needed, and the walking pace was just right. We were fortunate with the weather and arrived at Jomon Sugi just after 11 AM. After reaching Jomon Sugi, we turned back and had lunch along the way, returning to the trailhead by 4 PM. We arrived at our accommodation by bus just after 5 PM. After walking for 11 hours, I was grateful for the bus transfer. I slept really well that night.
About a week before our hike, we checked the weather forecast and decided on the date for climbing Jomon Sugi. Fortunately, the weather was good and walking was easy, but it could be tough in heavy rain. Since we could rent equipment the day before, we used it to hike Shiratani Unsuikyo without a guide the day before. For those who are not confident in their physical strength, it’s advisable to consider whether to hike Shiratani the day after climbing Jomon Sugi, depending on how fatigued you feel. I felt that the trail to Jomon Sugi was better maintained and easier to walk, but it was longer in distance. The round trip to Taiko Rock in Shiratani Unsuikyo is estimated to take about four hours. Taiko Rock offers a stunning view on clear days, so I recommend it. Since we hiked for several consecutive days, my legs were quite tired towards the end of the Jomon Sugi hike...
I had heard that even beginners could go to Jomon Sugi without a tour, but there are spots that you might miss if you don’t know about them. I felt it was a good decision to join a tour that provided various explanations. The staff at the local accommodation mentioned that the Jomon Sugi tour is popular, so it was great that we could make a good reservation. The guide was very attentive and friendly, and I enjoyed hearing many stories that could only be shared by local people from Yakushima along the way. Also, since the walking time is long, I think it’s important to research and prepare your gear in advance.
However, I will deduct one star because when I inquired by phone beforehand, I was told they would call me back, but I never received a call. I was also told they would contact me about my reservation three days prior, but I didn’t hear from them, so I had to call them instead.
I think it would be a waste not to see Jomon Sugi when visiting Yakushima. It was challenging, but it truly became a great experience. Thank you!
20代の友人と参加しました。オプションでレンタルを付けましたが、縄文杉ツアーの前日に受け取れます。朝4時にバスに乗り、歩き始めたのは5時頃でした。ガイドさん含め6人グループでしたがちゃんと歩ける人が多かったようで、ガイドさんは私たちの様子を見ながら適宜休憩を取りつつ進んでくださり、歩くペースはちょうど良く、天候にも恵まれ、11時過ぎには縄文杉に着きました。縄文杉までたどり着いたら引き返して途中で昼食を食べ、登山口まで戻ってきたのは16時でした。バスで宿についたのは17時過ぎです。11時間歩いて疲れていたためバスでの送迎付きはありがたかったです。その日は本当に良く寝れました。
私たちは登る一週間ほど前に天気予報を見て縄文杉に登る日程を決め、結局天候も良く歩き易かったのですが、ひどい雨だと辛いかもしれません。前日からレンタル品を借りれるため、私たちはそれを使い前日に白谷雲水峡にガイドなしで登りましたが、体力に自信のない方は縄文杉に登った次の日に、疲労の程度で白谷に登るか登らないか考えるのが良いそうです。白谷よりも縄文杉の方が道が整備されていて歩きやすいが距離が長いという印象を受けました。白谷雲水峡は太鼓岩まで往復4時間が目安だそうです。太鼓岩も天気がいい日は絶景なのでおすすめです。連日歩いたため縄文杉の最後の方は足が辛かったですが…
縄文杉は初心者でもツアー無しでいけると聞いていたのですが、知らないと素通りしてしまうスポットもあり、様々な解説を付けてくれるツアーを付けて良かったと感じました。現地の宿の方もここの縄文杉ツアーは人気だからいいとこで予約できて良かったねと言われましたし、ガイドさんも面倒見が良く気さくで、道中で屋久島の現地の人からしか聞けない話がたくさん聞けて楽しかったです。あとは、とにかく歩く時間が長いため装備は事前に調べてちゃんと準備していった方がいいと思います。
ただ、事前に電話で問い合わせたときに折り返し電話しますと言われましたが電話が来なかったこと、3日前に予約について一度連絡しますと言われましたが来なかったためこちらから電話をしたという点については☆-1をしておきます。
屋久島に訪れたら縄文杉を見ないともったいないと思います。大変でしたが本当にいい経験になりました、ありがとうございました。

I requested a half-day course with airport pickup. I participated alone, and although it was by taxi, the driver provided a lot of explanations about Yakushima. I was satisfied to reach the ancient cedar I wanted to see. There was also an explanation about Yakusugi Land. I spent my time very meaningfully right after arriving in Yakushima.
The next day, since the Jomon Cedar tour was canceled, I applied for the morning course over the phone, and that was also a great decision. This time it was by bus, and the bus guide's explanations were truly professional, which made me very satisfied.
Especially for those planning to go through the Western Forest Road, I think the bus tour is the best option without a doubt. No matter how many times I go, I want to leave that road to the driver. The full-day course is more economical, but I think doing half a day each is also a good option.
There’s a sense of satisfaction from being able to circle the island, and I absolutely recommend it.
午後の半日コースを空港ピックアップでお願いしました。1名参加で、タクシーだったのですが、運転士さんがずっと屋久島の説明をしてくれました。行きたかった紀元杉まで行けて満足してます。ヤクスギランドも説明付きでした。屋久島に着いてすぐの時間をとても有意義に過ごせました。
そして次の日。縄文杉ツアーが中止になったので午前のコースを電話で申し込みましたが、こちらも大正解。こちらはバスでしたがバスガイドさんの説明がさすがプロという感じで、大満足です。
特に、西部林道を通る予定の人は、バスツアー一択で、間違い無いかと…。何回目でも、運転手さんにお任せしたい道でした。
1日コースの方がお得ですが、半日づつもありかなと思います。
島を一周できる満足感もあり、絶対にオススメします。

Last September, I participated with my family. I was worried about whether I could walk properly, but the guide would take breaks just when I was getting tired, so I managed to keep up. Other than during breaks, I hardly had the luxury to look around; I was just focused on my feet and walking! The trolley path is easy to walk on since there are wooden planks between the rails, but if you get distracted by the scenery, you might trip. (Especially on the way back, be careful as your legs will be tired.)
Since a typhoon had just passed, the weather was strange, alternating between sunny and rainy, but I was lucky to see the moss dripping with water, sparkling in the sunlight. The scenery was truly amazing, making my little worries disappear. The next day, I had intense muscle pain, so I think it would be better to plan the order of optional tours considering the muscle soreness.
昨年9月に家族で参加しました。
ちゃんと歩けるだろうかと不安がありましたが、ガイドさんの後ろを黙々と歩き疲れるころに休憩が入るので何とか付いていけました。
休憩の時以外は、周りを見る余裕はほとんどなく、足元を見てとにかく歩く!という感じでした。トロッコ道はレールの間に木が敷いてあるので歩きやすいですが、うっかり景色に見とれると転びます。(特に帰りは足が疲れているので要注意です。)
台風が通過したばかりだったので、晴れたり雨が降ったりの変な天気でしたが、苔に水がしたたり、それが太陽を浴びてキラキラと光っているのを見れたのでラッキーでした。本当に素晴らしい景色で、ちっぽけな悩みなんか吹き飛びます。
翌日は筋肉痛がものすごかったので、オプショナルツアーの順番は筋肉痛も加味して組んだ方がいいと思いました。

It was tough, and I knew it would be, but it was really challenging! I left the hotel at 4 AM and got home at 6 PM!
But I think I had experiences that were worth it. I took a lot of photos, but I truly felt that you can't convey it unless you see it in person.
The negative ions were amazing, the air was clean, and since it only rained a little, it was easy to walk around. It was a really great day! Because it was a tour, I was able to walk while listening to various stories, and although it was tough, I made it! Thank you very much!
しんどい、大変とは分かっていましたが本当に大変でした!
朝4時発のホテル帰宅が18時でした!
でもそれに見合う?だけの経験が出来たと思います。沢山写真を撮りましたが
実際に見ないと伝わらないな、と現地に行って本当に感じました。
マイナスイオンがすごい出てて空気が綺麗で、雨が少しだけだったので歩きやすく、とても良い日でした!!
ツアーだからいろんな話を聞きながら話しながら歩けて大変だったけれども行けました!

It was not a trip, but a struggle. If it had been sunny, the 22 km round trip hike in 10 hours might have been more enjoyable, but the long journey in the rain was cold. I strongly recommend avoiding rainy days if you have flexibility in your schedule. The long ascent on the stairs in the second half was tough, of course, but the boards on the wet trolley path were slippery, making it really difficult to walk. That day was truly a battle with myself; I participated with my daughter, and I believe I was able to show her, as a parent, the attitude of "never giving up and doing my best until the end."
There were seven tour participants (including one elderly woman whose shoe sole came off, leading to her unfortunate retirement → waiting). Including the guide and my daughter, all six others were in their 20s, and I was the only one in my 50s. The young people walked really fast, and I was struggling to keep up. I had heard that I needed to walk at the guide's pace, but it was fast, too fast. I wished they would walk a bit slower. I believe we could have finished the descent on time even if we walked more slowly.
To make matters worse, about a third of the way back on the trolley path, I slipped and fell, injuring myself. Even two weeks later, my tailbone still hurts. My toenail has also become a blood blister and is still black.
Additionally, standing in front of Jomon Sugi, I felt an incredible sense of accomplishment, but the stay was too short. Including lunch, it was only 30 minutes... After climbing all that way, I wanted to stay a bit longer. I wanted to take more photos and videos. Initially, we arrived at Jomon Sugi 40 minutes earlier than the explanation we received at the airport upon arriving in Yakushima...
The young guide was kind, lending me a walking stick and serving everyone miso soup during lunch, but it turned out to be a very regretful tour. Also, for us as beginner hikers, the prior explanation about what clothes to wear was unclear. I wished they had specified "rainwear" for both top and bottom.
旅行じゃなくて、苦行だった。晴れなら往復22km10時間の登山ももう少し楽しめたのだろうけど、雨にうたれての長い行程は寒かった。日程に余裕があるなら雨の日は避けることを強くお勧めする。後半の長い登り階段の登山道ももちろんきつかったけど、雨に濡れた軌道敷(トロッコ道)内の踏み板が滑りやすく、本当に歩きづらかった。この日はまさに己との戦い、今回我が娘と参加したが、親として「絶対に諦めない・最後まで頑張る」姿勢を見せられたと思う。
ツアー客は7人(内、一人の年配の女性は靴底が取れてしまい、無念のリタイヤ→待機)。ガイドや娘も含めてあと6人全員20代、50代は私ただ一人。若い人は歩くのが本当に速くて、私はついていくのに必死。「ガイドに合わせて歩かなくちゃいけない」と噂に聞いてはいたが、早い、早すぎる。もっとゆっくり歩いて欲しかった。もっとゆっくりでも充分下山終了時間に間に合ったと思われる。
最悪なことに帰りのトロッコ道を3分の1歩いたあたりで滑ってしりもち、怪我したし。2週間たった今だに尾てい骨が痛い。足の爪も血豆になって今も真っ黒。
あと、縄文杉を目の前にして、達成感はものすごく感じられたけど、滞在時間短すぎ。ランチを含め30分って。。せっかく登ってきたんだからもう少し居たかった。もっと写真やビデオを撮りたかった。当初、屋久島到着時空港で受けた説明より40分も早く縄文杉に到着したのに。。。
若いガイドさんは杖を貸してくれたり、ランチ時に全員にミソスープをふるまってくれたりして良い方だったが、非常に心残りのツアーになった。
あと、登山初心者の私たちにとって、着ていく服の事前説明がわかりにくかった。上下の「レインウェア」と記載してほしかった。

Dear Makochin,
I apologize for the delayed response. Thank you very much for participating in the Jomon Sugi tour.
Even for those who are usually active, walking 22 kilometers round trip for 10 hours is quite a challenge, but I hope that walking through the forest of this World Heritage site has become a lifelong memory for you.
We have had participants in their 90s walk the Jomon Sugi course, so please continue to build your stamina and challenge yourself again.
Thank you for your continued support.

この度は、縄文杉ツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。
普段体を動かしている人でも往復22kmを10時間歩くのは大変なことですが、世界自然遺産の森を歩いたことは一生の思い出になったのでは
ないでしょうか。
今まで90代の方が縄文杉コースを歩いていますので、体力作りをしまたチャレンジして下さい。
